My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 34

Cai Wei was unlike You Mei, who was foolish enough to take everything seriously. As soon as she heard that, she knew that her Miss was angry that her words didn’t sound nice. She hurriedly went forward and apologized with a smile.

“I am merely concerned about you, Miss, please be magnanimous. Don’t blame me for having a foul mouth.”

She continued, “I’m Miss’ maid, so I’ll go wherever Miss goes. If Miss becomes a nun, I’ll go as well. I just don’t know… if I can eat meat in private? I am a glutton, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back.”

“You’re such a glutton!”

Xiao Baoxin laughed and scolded her. “Don’t tell me you want to become a meat-loving nun?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that.” Cai Wei was engrossed in the conversation as she followed Xiao Baoxin into the room. “In the past when you were studying, you said that Buddhists can also eat meat? Later on, one of the emperors didn’t want so many people to become monks, so he said that monks must become vegetarian. It’s obvious that there’s no such rule in Buddhism, so meat can also be eaten.” contemporary romance

Tang Li had just finished tidying up the room when she heard the last part of the conversation. She was immediately confused.

What did she mean? Who wanted to become a monk?

At this time, Xiao Baoxin could not help but be surprised. “Your memory is really good. There’s indeed such a saying.”

Then, she couldn’t help but sigh. “You’re much smarter than You Mei. It’s not fun.”

Cai Wei was speechless. You Mei was really dim-witted.

She had been by Miss’ side since she was young, and she couldn’t even tell whether Miss was joking or not. Her little brain had developed for nothing… You Mei probably only developed strength. She was really strong, but her brain really wasn’t enough.

At this point, Tang Li understood that it must be Miss who was teasing Cai Wei.

“Are you unable to control your mouth again? What nonsense are you spouting to anger Miss?”

Cai Wei giggled. “Tang Li knows me best. Miss told me to bring you along when we become nuns. She was afraid that you wouldn’t be used to it, so I said nuns can also eat meat.”

Just then, You Mei came in through the curtain. “Who wants to become a monk— is Xiao Lang making a fuss again?”

It was hopeless for her to only pick up such nonsense. Everyone in the room, including Xiao Baoxin, could not help but burst into laughter.

You Mei was confused. She knew that she must have made a fool of herself and did not want to ask in detail. She only said, “Miss, Second Miss is here.”

The rankings in the family were all based on their branch families. Xiao Baoxin, the daughter of the Xiao family, was the first. Once anyone mentioned the eldest daughter, everyone knew it was her. The second daughter was Xiao Jingai.

After hearing Xiao Jingai’s inner voice in the car, Xiao Baoxin had an indescribable disgust towards her.

Xiao Jingai would frequently visit the eldest branch of the family. It was so frequent that it had already reached the stage where she could walk across without the need to convey any message. As soon as You Mei finished her sentence, she heard Xiao Jingai’s sweet voice outside.

“Sister, I came early today. I didn’t disturb you, did I?” As she spoke, she walked in. As expected, her face was full of worry, and she looked a little pale from applying makeup to cover her face.

She did not look ugly. Instead, she looked pitiful.

“I was worried the whole night yesterday. Unfortunately, the situation was too chaotic. I wanted to accompany Sister but they didn’t allow me to. I was afraid that I would cause trouble for you outside so I went back to the residence to wait. Fortunately, Sister is fine…”

She started to say something, then stopped. Her big watery eyes were filled with messages: There’s something I want to say but I don’t know if I should say it.

Xiao Baoxin had returned to Jiankang with his father, Xiao Yun, when she was eight years old. Before that, Xiao Yun had been stationed outside, unlike Xiao Jingai who had always stayed in Jiankang City.

When Xiao Baoxin had just returned, she could not integrate into the social circle of noble ladies. Especially when she was beautiful and flamboyant, and had an accent, she always became the object of scorn and ridicule by others. Xiao Baoxin also felt disdain to be associated with those young ladies. Often, when Madam Xie brought her out to socialize, she would either be criticized or would criticize others. She didn’t even have half a best friend, and everyone else were just passers-by and… enemies.

What else could she do? She wasn’t the type to give in to others. Moreover, she was too beautiful and attracted too much attention. If she was targeted, wouldn’t she be allowed to target others?

Thus, through Madam Xie’s hard work, her daughter was successfully isolated.

It was at this time that she became familiar with Xiao Jingai.

Even though Xiao Jingai did not blend in like a fish in water in the circle of noble ladies, she was still more popular than Xiao Baoxin and had a few close friends. Xiao Jingai would bring Xiao Baoxin everywhere she went, which finally allowed Xiao Baoxin to have a few people to talk to.

Girls always liked to stick together, and Xiao Baoxin inevitably had some physical contact among them.

She had always known that Xiao Jingai was scheming and calculative. However, most of them were young girls who were sensitive and had their own vanity and jealousy. She didn’t care.

However, she didn’t expect to find out about the other side of Xiao Jingai in the car yesterday.

Xiao Baoxin had inherited one thing from Madam Xie, and it was the same— to protect her loved one.

No matter how much she scolded and hit her brother, they were related by blood and flesh and born from the same mother. Xiao Jingai was different. She was closer to her than others, but she was not on the same level as Xiao Baoshu.

Today, when she saw that Xiao Jingai had woken up early in the morning and stopped her in the room, her face turned unpleasant.

Xiao Jingai was so pretentious. Since she was worried about disturbing her rest, couldn’t she come back later?

Was she here to find out more about Yang Shao early in the morning?

“Sister?” Xiao Baoxin’s gaze made Xiao Jingai’s hair stand on end.

When and where did she provoke her? Why was her face so dark that it looked like water was about to seep out? She was clearly fine before!

“Why are you looking at me? Is my face… dirty?” She smiled awkwardly.

Xiao Baoxin shook her head. “Since you didn’t rest well last night, why did you come here so early in the morning? You should have taken a good rest.”

Xiao Jingai observed her expression quietly. “I’m worried about Sister. I heard rumors in Jiankang City that the emperor despised the Yuan family for not being good enough for Sister…”

Why did the emperor get involved?

In her previous life, the royal family was not involved. However, after her rebirth, things changed. The matter had actually reached the emperor, and the emperor even stood on the side of the Xiao family.

Could it be that Xiao Baoxin’s fate of having her engagement annulled was going to be rewritten? Was it changed to her initiating the annulment to the Yuan family?

Then, would she marry Yang Shao because of this?

If Xiao Baoxin didn’t marry Yang Shao because of this, it would of course be good news for her. However, she hadn’t gotten together with Yang Shao yet, which made things a bit awkward. She was a young lady from a noble family, so it wasn’t convenient for her to leave and go. Yang Shao was also a subordinate official of the Jiangxia King. Whether it was due to segregation by gender or status, it was really difficult for her to find an opportunity to befriend him.

“Although Young Master has gotten into trouble this time, Sister has also benefited from it. Doesn’t Sister also dislike the Young Master of the Yuan Family?”

Xiao Baoxin exploded when she heard that.

“How can you say that Young Master has caused trouble? He was just standing up for me. Jingai, you have spoken too harshly. If it were me, I would stand up and seek justice for him if someone insulted my brother. This might be something you won’t understand.”
